'''Dori''' was a Dwarf who, being of [[Durin's Folk]], probably dwelt in the northern [[Blue Mountains]] with [[Thorin]] after the latter had settled there after [[Thráin|Thráin II]] had disappeared.<ref name="Durin">{{App|Durin}}</ref> He was one of the thirteen [[Dwarves]] who journeyed to [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] to reclaim the lands from the [[Dragons|dragon]] [[Smaug]], and after the successful conclusion of this quest he lived with his part of the treasure at the Lonely Mountain.<ref name="Meetings">{{FR|II1}}</ref>


In [[Third Age 2941|T.A. 2941]], Dori was one of twelve Dwarves selected to accompany Thorin Oakenshield on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon [[Smaug]].  Dori was the strongest of the thirteen Dwarves, and he was fond of food.  And he was quite a decent fellow, according to [[Bilbo Baggins]].
==History==
=== Family and birth ===
Dori was noteworthy for two incidents in the tale: Dori carried Bilbo in the tunnels of the [[Misty Mountains]] during the escape from the goblins, but unfortunately dropped him; the other Dwarves later blamed him for "losing their burglar."
Dori's parentage is unknown, although he was a member of the [[House of Durin]] and a remote kinsman of [[Thorin|Thorin Oakenshield]].<ref name="Durin"/> He was also the brother of [[Nori]], and a cousin of [[Ori]].<ref name=Person></ref> His birth year is also unknown.


Later, during the escape from the [[Wargs]], Dori climbed down from a tree, which allowed Bilbo to scramble up the tree. Bilbo later grabbed Dori's legs as they were carried off by an eagle, saving them from a fire lit by Goblins.
However, in [[Bilbo Baggins]]' account of the quest to Erebor he stated that the brothers [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]] were the youngest of the thirteen "by some fifty years"<ref name="Hill">{{H|Hill}}</ref>, and that when Thorin was missing [[Balin]] was "the eldest left".<ref>{{H|Barrels}}</ref> Since Kíli was born in {{TA|2864}} and Balin was born in {{TA|2763|n}},<ref name="Durin"/> this would put Dori's birth between {{TA|2763|n}} and c. 2814, and he would have been between c. 127 and 178 years old during the quest to Erebor.


Dori later fought in and survived the [[Battle of Five Armies]].  He was given his share of the treasure by [[Dáin II Ironfoot|Dáin Ironfoot]], and made his home in Erebor.   
Thorin stated that Dori was the strongest of the Dwarves in the company.<ref>{{H|Flies}}</ref> Dori (and Nori) shared Bilbo's opinion that meals should be plentiful and frequent.<ref name="Mutton">{{H|Mutton}}</ref>, and also it is said that Dori was "a decent fellow despite his grumbling".
== Erebor, And the War of the Ring ==
Dori lived a very rich life after the quest as one of the reclaimers of the mountain. He was still alive during the [[War of the Ring]], and may have fought in the [[Battle of Dale]]. His date of death is not known.


{{Template:Thorin and Company}}
===The Quest of Erebor===
When Bilbo first met Dori (in the fourth group of Dwarves to arrive at [[Bag End]] alongside Nori and Ori and another set of brothers, [[Óin]] and [[Glóin]]) he was wearing a purple hood along with a silver belt, same as his brother Nori.  During the evening when Thorin called for music, Dori (along with Nori and Ori) played the flute.<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref> 


Bilbo proclaimed Dori to be "really a decent fellow"<ref name="Pan">{{H|Pan}}</ref> because thrice Dori assisted Bilbo when the hobbit might otherwise have been killed:  First, Dori carried Bilbo in the tunnels of the [[Misty Mountains]] during the escape from the goblins, but unfortunately dropped him which led to the hobbit's encounter with Gollum.<ref name="Hill"/> Upon Nori's discovery that Bilbo was gone the other Dwarves blamed Dori for losing their burglar, especially the wizard [[Gandalf]] arguing with the dwarf.  Second, during the escape from the [[Wargs]], Dori climbed down from a tree, which allowed Bilbo to scramble up Dori and into the tree.  Lastly, Bilbo grabbed Dori's legs as they were carried off by an eagle, saving them from a fire lit by Goblins, much to both Bilbo and Dori's dismay crying "My legs! My poor legs!".<ref name="Pan"/>
When [[Gandalf]] was telling the story of the company's adventures to [[Beorn]], Dori and Thorin were the first two Dwarves to show up.<ref>{{H|Queer}}</ref> Thorin also notes that Dori is the strongest of their company. Upon being pulled out of the barrel after escaping the [[Thranduil|Elvenking]]'s halls and arrived in [[Lake-town]], Dori, along with several others was one of the Dwarves who was waterlogged and seemed only half alive.<ref>{{H|Welcome}}</ref>
Dori would later fight in and survive the [[Battle of Five Armies]].  He was given his share of the treasure by [[Dáin Ironfoot]], the new king under the mountain after Thorin's death at the battle by [[Bolg]], and made his home in Erebor alongside his other companions that survived the battle and would live in great wealth under King Dáin.<ref>{{H|Return}}</ref>
===Later life===
Dori lived a wealthy life after the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. His date of death is unknown but he was still alive during the [[War of the Ring]], as mentioned by [[Glóin]] before the [[Council of Elrond]] in {{TA|3018}}.<ref name="Meetings"/>. He probably fought in the [[Battle of Dale]] against [[Sauron]]'s forces, the [[Easterlings]], along with the other members of the company still alive.

Dori was a Dwarf who, being of Durin's Folk, probably dwelt in the northern Blue Mountains with Thorin after the latter had settled there after Thráin II had disappeared.[2] He was one of the thirteen Dwarves who journeyed to Erebor to reclaim the lands from the dragon Smaug, and after the successful conclusion of this quest he lived with his part of the treasure at the Lonely Mountain.[3]

History[edit | edit source]

Family and birth[edit | edit source]

Dori's parentage is unknown, although he was a member of the House of Durin and a remote kinsman of Thorin Oakenshield.[2] He was also the brother of Nori, and a cousin of Ori.[1] His birth year is also unknown.

However, in Bilbo Baggins' account of the quest to Erebor he stated that the brothers Fíli and Kíli were the youngest of the thirteen "by some fifty years"[4], and that when Thorin was missing Balin was "the eldest left".[5] Since Kíli was born in T.A. 2864 and Balin was born in 2763,[2] this would put Dori's birth between 2763 and c. 2814, and he would have been between c. 127 and 178 years old during the quest to Erebor.

Thorin stated that Dori was the strongest of the Dwarves in the company.[6] Dori (and Nori) shared Bilbo's opinion that meals should be plentiful and frequent.[7], and also it is said that Dori was "a decent fellow despite his grumbling".

The Quest of Erebor[edit | edit source]

When Bilbo first met Dori (in the fourth group of Dwarves to arrive at Bag End alongside Nori and Ori and another set of brothers, Óin and Glóin) he was wearing a purple hood along with a silver belt, same as his brother Nori. During the evening when Thorin called for music, Dori (along with Nori and Ori) played the flute.[8]

Bilbo proclaimed Dori to be "really a decent fellow"[9] because thrice Dori assisted Bilbo when the hobbit might otherwise have been killed: First, Dori carried Bilbo in the tunnels of the Misty Mountains during the escape from the goblins, but unfortunately dropped him which led to the hobbit's encounter with Gollum.[4] Upon Nori's discovery that Bilbo was gone the other Dwarves blamed Dori for losing their burglar, especially the wizard Gandalf arguing with the dwarf. Second, during the escape from the Wargs, Dori climbed down from a tree, which allowed Bilbo to scramble up Dori and into the tree. Lastly, Bilbo grabbed Dori's legs as they were carried off by an eagle, saving them from a fire lit by Goblins, much to both Bilbo and Dori's dismay crying "My legs! My poor legs!".[9]

When Gandalf was telling the story of the company's adventures to Beorn, Dori and Thorin were the first two Dwarves to show up.[10] Thorin also notes that Dori is the strongest of their company. Upon being pulled out of the barrel after escaping the Elvenking's halls and arrived in Lake-town, Dori, along with several others was one of the Dwarves who was waterlogged and seemed only half alive.[11]

Dori would later fight in and survive the Battle of Five Armies. He was given his share of the treasure by Dáin Ironfoot, the new king under the mountain after Thorin's death at the battle by Bolg, and made his home in Erebor alongside his other companions that survived the battle and would live in great wealth under King Dáin.[12]

Later life[edit | edit source]

Dori lived a wealthy life after the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. His date of death is unknown but he was still alive during the War of the Ring, as mentioned by Glóin before the Council of Elrond in T.A. 3018.[3]. He probably fought in the Battle of Dale against Sauron's forces, the Easterlings, along with the other members of the company still alive.

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Dóri is a dwarf from the Dvergatal. His name most likely means "Borer" or "auger-man".[13]
